The main glass on the passenger side of the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS61095-96F is flat glass so it does not have the, "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" message because the image is not distorted for a wider viewing angle that would make things look closer than they really are. view full answer...

For your 2005 Ford Excursion, I recommend the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner, # SU1845 or # SU4845 approved for California emissions.
The Superchips tuner is a hand held unit that will plug in to your vehicle's OBD-II port. The Superchips tuner includes tunes for economy, towing, daily driving, and extreme performance. The tuner will also allow you to maximize power by lifting the restrictions on your rev limiter, allowing for maximum rotational speed, eliminate downshifting... view full answer...
Your best solution for your 2003 Ford Excursion would be with just the RAS kit part # RAS3621-HD as this can give you up to an additional 3,000 lb of suspension support, is only solution that also improves ride quality and stability and is easy to install.
If you try to use with another kit the ride quality is most likely going to be harsh and unpredictable since it hasn't been tested together. view full answer...
The 3 inch bow roller # YR3143-4 takes a 1/2 inch diameter shaft such as # CE10700A. The Pal nuts are included. The length of this shaft is 5-1/4 inches long so you may need to trim it down a little. The cut will need to be straight and smooth so the Pal nuts will still fit on the ends.
If a bracket is needed as well we have numerous options. I have included a link to them for you. view full answer...
Yes, you'll need to install a roof rack on your 2003 Ford Excursion like the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack part # TH711400, # TH460R, and # THKIT3101 but yes you can then carry a 4 kayak carrier like the part # TH830 that you referenced. You'd need three additional sets of the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # TH855XT since the Stacker only comes with one set.
The Wingbar rack I referenced is one of the nicest options on the market as it gives you a set of crossbars... view full answer...
The factory crossbars on a 2000 Ford Excursion have channels which are simply the slots in the top of the crossbars that run left to right. These channels can be used to secure accessories such as kayaks so long as you use a carrier which attaches to them, the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier part # RRS520 is what I recommend and it will be perfect for two kayaks. view full answer...
Let's first look at the numbers. A trailer weighing 9,000 pounds will have a tongue weight in the neighborhood of 900 to 1,350 pounds. But when you calculate tongue weight for weight distribution you also have to factory in the weight of any cargo loaded behind the rear axle of your 2005 Ford Excursion.
So for example if your trailer's tongue weight is 1,100 pounds and you have 200 pounds of cargo behind the rear axle of the Excursion the total tongue weight would be 1,300 pounds and you... view full answer...
First, if your 2000 Ford Excursion does not already have a roof rack with crossbars that run side to side I recommend using the Inno square bar system using bars # INB127, feet # INXP, and fit kit # INTR501. They mount to the factory tracks so you can change the bar spread to accommodate different roof baskets.
The Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080 is a great option. Use it with spare tire carrier # Y07076 as long as the spare is up to but no larger than 35 inches in diameter. view full answer...
We have the 84 inch long version of the Surco Safari part # SPS5084 but we don't have a way to convert your shorter 50 inch Safari to the longer version. Only solution we have would be to go with the larger basket. view full answer...
When looking for a roof cargo basket for your 2002 Ford Excursion you simply need to measure the distance between the center of your front crossbar to the center of your rear crossbar. Cargo baskets typically have a crossbar spread range that they are compatible with.
If you are looking for a great basket that will cover a large portion of your roof then the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080-82 is hard to beat. It measures 74" long x 48" wide x 6-1/2" tall and is compatible with crossbar spreads... view full answer...
When you are fitting a roof rack for your vehicle please remember that you can choose longer crossbars provided that they do not extend beyond the side-rview mirrors of your vehicle. Your 2002 Ford Excursion's roof rack will consist of the following;
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2, part # RRVA150B-2 and the
Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks - Qty 4, part # RRRLT600.
This roof rack has a weight limit... view full answer...
If you have a non ES Mountaineer you will need to use the Thule Quick Mount QM3 # TH04997 that you also referenced. This is available and is the correct fit for your box, so I recommend going with that mounting kit.
The EasySnap Mounting Hardware has been discontinued and was only designed to work on Thule Mountaineer ES cargo boxes so you would have no problem using it on your cargo box as long as it is a Mountaineer ES if you can find it used.
These boxes are designed to fit nearly... view full answer...
I am happy to help you with a complete flat tow setup for your raised 2003 Ford Excursion. You will want to start with base plates Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # BX2163. I suggest installing your base plates using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420.
For a tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420. You may also want a locking hitch pin like # e98882.
For your vehicle wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil... view full answer...
I have another option for you, but the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # TLD1109 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit select Ram Pickups and will not fit your 2000 Ford Excursion.
Instead I recommend the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - Dual 2" Receivers # TLF1006 which is confirmed to fit your Excursion and has a 1700lb tongue weight rating and 17000lb trailer weight rating making it a... view full answer...
Stromberg has a replacement foot pad for their trailer jack part # JET-3555 as part # 2500-3755G but the Bulldog foot you mentioned would not work. view full answer...
The best option we have would be something like the Camco Trailer Tongue Jack Stand # CAM44635 or FloTool Wheel Chock and Jack Stand # FT11933MI if you are wanting a way to get more height of your jack since Stromberg does not make an extension foot like you are wanting. view full answer...
The most cost effective option we can offer you to reduce rear end sag while towing with your lifted 2002 Ford Excursion is the TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade part # TLA7310 which is super easy to install, adjustable for different loads, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
The reason that the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-109-40 is not a good option is because you are lifted which means you would need to install several spacers in order to make up the... view full answer...
When it comes to towing the Open Range Roamer Travel Trailer with your 2003 Ford Excursion, I agree, the Firestone Ride-Rite airbags that are currently on your vehicle should be able to handle the added weight of trailer and allow the vehicle to ride level.
Adding sway control to your towing setup is a great idea. Take a look at the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit, # 83660. This unit provides improved stability by reducing trailer sway which makes for a much more enjoyable towing experience.... view full answer...
A block lift is a body lift so you would not need the spacers. The only time you need to use lift spacers with suspension enhancement is when you have a suspension lift.
So the Firestone Ride Rite part # F2251 would fit your 4x4 2000 Ford Excursion without needing them. view full answer...
